Albanian Throne May
Be Offered Prince
Roland Bonaparte
Paris. France, JHly 29. "A Eonaparta
to the rescue" is the cry with whlcn
some of the French royalists indulged
in today over the failure op the Ger
man prince or Weld to maintain his
s. ,rt ."e1 rule over the destinies or
Albania.
According to some dispatches which
nave reached here, it is only a ques
tion of days may be hours, when tho
throne of Albania will be offered ey
Mussulmans and Catholics alike to
prince Roland Bonaparte, the grand
nephew of the great Napoleon and
father of the wife of the heir to tn
throne of Greece.
Not a little stir has been created
here by the news. Frenchmen, how
ever much they may differ in homo
politics, are naturally flattered by the
compliment thus paid to a scion of the
house of Bonaparte and no diplomatic
difficulty would be raised in the event
of the prince accepting the honor thus
conferred on France.
Phince Roland has made his mark
more In science and exploration taan
In pqbllc life. He has always held
severely aloof from politics. But his
work as president of the French Geo
graphical society' has been valuabia
and effective. He has traveled mucn
and devoted his vast wealth to ex
ploration work. The prince Is no
stranger In Albania. Egypt Turkey
and the Balkans. While the situation
would tax his ski'l and energy to tns
utmost it Is generally believed tnat
he womd make an acceptable ruler.
